The match was delayed to begin as rain showered slowly in and around Kolkata. Later, the toss was conducted at 08:15 PM and match referee decided to cut short the overs to 18.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who won the toss, decided to bowl first, and it pulled the spectators to a state of surprise.

His decision was justified by Indian bowlers, as they maintained the strict economy in the initial overs.

Pakistan lost their first wicket when they reached 38. Surprisingly, Boom Shahid Afridi entered the crease as one down, but he failed to recreate the magic which he showcased in the last match.

India did not make any changes in the team which played the first match against New Zealand. A win against arch rivals Pakistan is expected to boost the morale of the team as they play coming matches.
